For Canterbury, By Canterbury Workshops – Entertainment created by Canterbury Residents Group and Canterbury Community Group, this lively event has now become an annual Canterbury event and the Umbrella Centre was delighted to contribute to its success in July.
This mime and dance group based at The Marlowe Theatre entertained our visitors again with an interesting free performance. The music and dance and audience participation was much enjoyed.
Umbrella ran a coffee morning on 28th Sept. It was well attended by the community despite the dreadful weather on that day. Visitors enjoyed an amazing array of different cakes. One of our members also gave a short, but thought provoking speech, about her own experiences and feelings on being diagnosed and having treatment for cancer. The Centre raised £107.60 for this worthy cause.
Rosie Duffield kindly spent 1 ½ hours at the centre talking to the staff and Trustees of the Centre and looking at ways to supplement our funding.
The Centre did host a quiz on behalf of the Catching Lives Shelter Charity on Dec 5th.
This was a fun filled meal bringing lots of friends together to enjoy and share a delicious meal cooked by our chef Robert.
